‘Unbelievable Experience' Describes Meeting Queen
Meeting Queen Elizabeth was an “unbelievable experience" for a Mount Stewart couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Glover, among the 300 invited guests at a reception given by the Queen and Prince Philip yes- terday evening aboard the Roy- al Yacht Britannia, said most of the guests seemed to be al- most awestruck at the beauty and gl‘aclousness of their regal hostess.
The sentiments of the couple echoed the thoughts of dozens of those present.
Mr. Glover seemed to typify the reaction when he said found it hard to believe I was really talking to her.“
Both commented on the easy informality the Royal couple displayed at the gathering. “At first, I was a little nervous," Mrs. Glover stated, “but I was put at case when I was pre- sented to the Queen, She was
h:
' just wonderful."
TRADING JOKES
The Queen and Prince Philip mingled freely with their guests, taking time to ask questions of each and trading jokes with the crowd.
The guea list was composed of key centennial workers. may- ors and chairmen of village commissioners. Mr. Glover, engineer with Maritime Elec- tric Company in Mount Stew- art. is chairman of the Mount Stewart Centennial Committee.
Mrs. Glover said she had wondered what she would say to the Queen, but found that Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh carried the conver- sational ball, asking questions about the home communities of the guests, their occupations. and work in connection with Centennial activities.
Prince Philip displayed his famous wit. as well as an un- canny memory for faces. on several occasions

“How many times do you want to shake it—you’ve al- ready shaken it once!" Prince Philip teased, shoving both hands into his jacket pockets.
The reception was held in a canvas-enclosed upper deck of the yacht. Queen Elizabeth wore a dark red dress. mink stole. white gloves and black
shoes and purse, .along with strands of pearls which seem to be a favorite piece of jewel- ry. Prince Philip was dressed in a dark lounge suit.
The Mount Stewart couple left the reception with feelings of eletion, mingl ' in- creased affection and admira- tion for the Queen and her consort.
Mrs. Glover summed it up: "It was the most wonderful thing that ever happened me."
